 Quoted from the program notes of the 1984 run of ''[[Decadence]]'': 'Her first production was ''[[Equus]]'' in Pretoria (where an enthusiastic police contingent chased her backstage and attempted to arrest her under the Immorality Act) but she fortunately managed to escape and perform in many others, namely: ''[[Play It Again Sam]]'', ''[[Grease]]'', ''[[Cincinatti]]'', ''[[The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas]]'', ''[[Wieretuin]]'', ''[[Passion Play]]'', ''[[Seer in the Suburbs]]'', ''[[Buried Child]]'', ''[[It's a Boy!]]'' and ''[[Up 'n Atom]]''. Bo is still recognised for her TV part in ''[[Oh George!]]'' but she has also appeared in ''[[Miss Candida]]'', ''[[Highrise Cowboy]]'' and others that she would rather not mention. Bo has appeared in a number of films including ''[[Waar en Wolhaarstories]]'', ''[[Skollie]]'', and others which she can't mention because she's forgotten the titles. She remains committed however to local fringe theatre and instrumental in the production of the satire, ''[[Day in the Life of South Africa]]'' (under white supervision), ''[[A Fact of Life]]'', ''[[Upfront]]'', ''[[Going Dark]]'' (which she wrote).
